North, a deputy toFredericks, and other attaches ofthe district attorney's office havesent out letters urging Democrats to write in the name ofFredericks on the Democraticticket.This move is an eleventh-hourplot of machine* Republicans.They vainly hope it will stem thetide which is setting againstthem.Vote for Thomas Lee Woolwine.Meanwhile, if you question thatFredericks and his associateshave resorted to the bold plotcharged, read this letter.The letters were not sent outuntil, the close of the campaign,in order that they might do theirwork before a timely warhingcould be issued to those receivingthem. A great many of the letters were mailed Sunday andMonday.I.ETTEIt KXrOSF.S TRICKL.OS ANGELES, Cal.. Aug. 13,1810. —Dear Sir; You will no doubtremember the writer an havingbeen pretty well acquainted withyou when you were a member ofthe Jury In Judpe Willis' court fromFebruary 4 to June 10. 1909. I havobefore mo a list of the jury, whichwas printed by Mr. W. S. McGeeof Ingjowood, and I remember witha great deal of pleasure the timeswe used to have in department 11together.Next Tuesday will be the prlmarv election, at which time Capt.J. D. Fredericks wants to be renominatea on both the Republicanand. Democratic tickets for districtattorney. If you arc a Republicanyou would do me a great favor bymaking a cross opposite the captain's name on the ballot at thattime. If you are a Democrat It Isjust as important that you vote forhim by writing his name in theplace left for Democratic nomination for district attorney.Having been more or less closelyassociated with the district attorney's office in times past, I feelsure that you fully appreciate thefact that this office has been capably, efficiently and conscientiously conducted by Captain Fredericks personally, with the assistance of his deputies.We need the help of all of ourfriends in this primary election,especially in view of the fact thatcertain persons made it their boastthat they will "got" the captain,and are proceeding 1 to do it by mudslinging and innuendo. No oneknows better than I do that thesacontemptible tactics of the opposition are most undeserved, to thecaptain and I ask you if you willnot do your part toward seeingthat he is renomlnated and reelected. Very .truly yours,JOHN C. NORTH.Another letter sent out at the request of District Attorney FredericksIs signed by the "Polo Club," which heclaims Is made up principally of Spanish War Veteran  but which in reality is composer chiefly of machinemen. The club was organized to "dopolitics" for Fredericks. In its letterthis statement appears:The primaries are on August 16,1910, and Captain Fredericks' namewill >c found on the Republican'balloc along with the names of twoopponents. If you should haveregistered as a Democrat, you willof course be given a Democraticballot at these primaries, uponwhich his name will not appear;but you can write his name on thatballot underneath, the title "District Attorney."^JOHN D.

MINER,ACCUSED BROKERFormer Officer in Local Bank IsCharged with PassingWorthless ChecksAMOUNT MAY REACH $40,000Well Known Clubman Disappears,and Warrant for Arrest IsAwaiting ServiceC. B. Miner, clubman and broker,widely known In Los Angeles financialcircles, and at one time chief teller inthe Farmers and Merchants' Nationalbank, is missing. A warrant for hisarrest, charging him with havingpassed a worthless check for $4100, isawaiting service. J. H. Blagge, alsoa broker, is the complainant. Manyother bad checks were issued by Minerbefore he left, the police assert, andthe sum thus lost by his friends andbanks with which he did business maytotal $40,000.Miner was an active member of theLos Angeles stock exchange, but it isstated the exchange lost nothing. Hedisappeared Saturday, after biddinghis wife and daughter, aged 5 years,goodby. He said he was going toBakersfleld and would return the following day.The first Irregularity in Miner's business methods was discovered yesterday morning at the National Bank ofCalifornia, Fourth and Spring streets,when a check that had been depositedby Miner, signed by Luther H. Green,calling for $5000, was returned marked"Irregular signature." Miner has offices In tho Pacific Electric building.Immediately an investigation wasmade by tho bank officials of Miner'saccount. It showed that he owed thebank close to $10,000.mKEGULARITY IN SIGNATUREW. D. Woolwine, vice president, inspeaking of Miner's indebtedness tohis bank yesterday, said:"As near as we can tell at presentMiner owes this institution less than$10,000. Aa his dealings with us hadalways beon regular, we had no intimation that anything wjis wrong until the check for $5000, signed by Luther H. Green, was returned this morning with the memorandum attachedmarked 'signature irregular.' I willnot say that the signature was forged,but will say that It waa Irregular."J. H. Blagge, a broker in the Security building, room 322, swore to a complaint In Police Judge Williams' courtyesterday charging Miner with pass-Ing a worthless check for $4100.At the First National bank, it isalleged. Miner succeeded in petting alarge sum on a worthless check. WhenPresident J. M. Elliott was asked lastevening as to the amount he said:"I don't know the amount, but I understand that there is an Irregularcheck at the bank."COMPANIES LOSE ON CHECKSAdams & Co., brokers, is anotherconcern that Is said to have suffered.The Clune Investment company. It isunderstood, has a shortage to settlewith the missing man.Last evening Charles Rogers theyounger brother of Mrs. Miner, saidthat Miner on departing from his wifehad promised to return soon. Mr. Rogers said:"He told sister that he was going toBakersfiold and expected to be backSunday, and if not then he wouldsurely be back Monday morning orwould phone her."Miner made money, but lived extravagantly, being a very generousspender. He got to bucking the NewYork exchange recently, and I guessthat must have got him to a certainextent. As he had not been to seeour family for more than six months,we did not know much about his cir-cumstances, but we did know that hewas living high."Miner was well known in local banking circles. For several years he waschief teller at the Farmers and Merchants National bank. On resigningfrom that position he entered thebrokerage field, and at first was successful, making $16,000 In the advanceon Associated oil stock about a yearago.In club circles he was also wellknown, being a meember of the Jonathan and at one time of the Unionleague.Warning to DemocratsBECAUSE most of the names upon the Democratic ticket arenot contested, Democrats must not permit themselves to belulled into any feeling of security and refrain from goingto the polls. ,It has been the practice of the disreputable Southern Pacificmachine in the past to load the Democratic ticket up with its owncreatures. Witness the manner in which "Tvs" Eldrid/jje wasplaced upon the Democratic ticket at the last election. /There is no doubt that the machine will have every I emocratthat it can control at the polls with instructions to write in thenames of candidates of its own choosing.Should honest Democrats refrain from going to the polls todayand casting their votes for the excellent ticket which has been provided for them they may be very sure that they will wake Hp tofind their ticket composed of nominees whose presence upon itthey will consider a disgrace.Let every Democrat do his duty to his party and to his countryby going to the polls and casting his vote for the best ticket, fromtop to bottom, that the members of the party in this county haveever had an opportunity of voting for in its. history.Democrats should also remember that the delegates selectedto the Democratic county convention at today's primaries! willconstitute the party machinery for the next two years. They willelect delegates to the state convention, which, in turn, will selectdelegates to the Democratic national convention. It is important,therefore, that Democrats vote for good men—those whose namesappear on official stickers which will be given out by the Democratic precinct chairmen.WOMAN'S SLAYERARRESTED; COOLLYCONFESSES CRIMEOtto Schultz, Caught Here, SaysHe Killed Mrs. Schultz-Castine Because of BlowDETAILS LANCASTER MURDERFound Working in Bakery UnderOwn Name—Denies Robbery Was MotiveOtto Schultz, murderer of Mrs. FredaSchultz-Castine, who was beaten onthe head with a shovel and buriedwhile still warm in a shallow gravetwenty feet from her ranch home nearLancaster last Friday afternoon, wasarrested by Detective Grant RoberdsIn the mixing room of the Pieper Baking company at 747 Central avenueshortly alter « o'clock last night.Schultz at first denied ever having livedat Lancaster and that he killed anyone. He finally admitted that he killedthe woman and later, when given intothe custody of Sheriff Hammel, made afull confession of his crime. Schultzsays he is a full brother of EmilSchultz, known as the son of the deceased. He asserts Mrs. Castineadopted his brother.The accused denied that he killed thewoman for money. He said he engagedin an altercation with the woman because he stepped on a chicken and injured It. Following'- this altercation,Schultz stated that Mrs. Schultz-Oastine seized a stick and struck him.He seized a shovel, grasping the implement by the blade, and struck heron tho head, felling her to the ground.Then, the accused stated, he beat heron the head until he thought she wasdead.The murderer arrived in Los Angelesat 8 o'clock Saturday morning. Heleft his baggage at the Arcade station and searched about for a place toeat. After walking about in the neighborhood he went to the Pieper Bakingcompany and asked the proprietor, Rudolph F. Pieper, for something to eat.GETS PLACE IN BAKERYSchultz told a pitiful story of havinglanded in New York on March 3 andof being compelled to tramp his wayacross the continent in search of employment. Pieper took pity on theman and after feeding him offered hima temporary position in the bakery.Schultz then returned with his belongings and showed Pieper a numberof letters from Germany to the effectthat the bearer was a baker's apprentice and had been employed In variouscities in tho German empire. The accused gave 'his correct name, OttoSchultz, and went to work Saturdaymorninsr.Monday being a busy day for Pieperhe could not find time to read thepapers until yesterday afternoon.When fie~read the accounts of the murder he at once suspicionod the newemploye, and at 6:45 o'clock telephonedto the central police station and notified the detective bureau.Detective Grant Roberds, one of thecleverest officers in tho department,was detailed to investigate the case.Roberds hurried to the bakery, andwith the proprietor went ito the mixing room and found Schultz nervouslyscraping flour from barrels. Roberds,using Pieper as an interpreter, askedSchultz when he left Lancaster. Schultzfeigned ignorance, and asked wherethe place was. Roberds then asked theyoung man if the woman was badlyhurt. Again Schultz feigned ignoranceand denied any knowledge of a womanhaving been Injured.The detective then asked Schultz ifthe latter was not responsible for thedeath of Mrs. Freda Schultz-Castine.The accused turned pale, groped wildlyfor a nearby barrel, finally steadiedhimself and replied in a hoarse whisperthat he killed the woman. Roberdsthen placed him under arrest and tookhim to the central police station.TELLS OF MOVEMENTSAn interpreter elicited the information that Schultz killed the woman because she called him a lazy loafer.The accused then detailed his movements from the time of the commissionof the crime to the moment of hisarrest.As soon as Schultz was placed underarrest the detective notified SheriffHammel and within a short time thelatter appeared and the prisoner was(Continued on Faze live)Slayer of Mrs. Freda Castine andRanch Where Tragedy Occurred1 X.. f**^- :$£ J&Abovr—Otto Schultz, Who Confessed L«§t Night the Murder of Mr».

The report wasmade public today.Vigorous attacks are made in theminority report on almost all the reasons given by the majority in its report, submitted some time ago, as thecause for the advance in prices.After attacking one at a time, thefifteen principal causes which, according to the majority report, contributeto the high cost of living, the minority report takes up the tariff, declaring that when the Payne-Aklrich billwas framed, champagne was put onthe schedule at from 54 to 66 per cent,while wearing apparel was taxed from80 to 92 per cent —drinking champagnewas to be encouraged and wearingwoolen clothes discouraged."So with hats," they said. "Thosebringing not over $4.50 per dozen weretaxed 77 per cent, and those valued atmore than $18 per dozen, 47 per cent."The result of protection, they declare,is "great fortunes for the few andgreat suffering for the many."Showing the effect of the tariff onprices, they instance sugar, on whichthe American consumer, they say,pays more than the London consumer because of the difference in thesugar tariffs in the two countries, plus17 cents a hundred pounds."It Is scarcely necessary," they said,"to mention the iniquitous woolenschedules—here the tariff rates are sohigh on these necessities of our peopleas practically to preclude any foreigncompetition with the American manufacturer, except on high-priced goodspurchased by the wealthier consumerwho can to some extent disregardprices."Taking up the trusts and monopolies, they declare "that there are fewtrusts that could survive a revenuetariff. They flourish only under theshadow of high protective walls.""The methods of the meat trust,"they declare, "seem to be admirablyadapted to take from the consumerand the producer the largest amountthat the tariff will bear. Their destruction of local competition cannot beImproved upon."LiiV/il I," 1 fYlPIl?Sl« DAILY Jo. ON TRAINS Be.Sill KxLilU V>V-/X ±r!jO . BLJ(DAXB So. ON TRAINS I*%HONEST MEN ORS.P.TOOLS-WHICH?Today's Primary Gives Voters aChoice of Kind of Candidates They WantBY T. SUEIXISY BUTTONA last word to the good governmentvoters of California:The primary election today, whichwill be the first yet • held under thenew direct primary law, will absolutelydecide, perhaps for -all time, whetherthe peoplethe j taxpayers— yearby year have been heavily assessed forthe maintenance of law and order,justice and decency, are to gain control of. the affairs of our county andstate governments; or whether theSouthern Pacific political machine, itspernicious "bosses" and . unscrupulousrepresentatives are to continue theirmanagement of our state's legislative,executive and judicial departments.The ; question is vital. It involvesthe future welfare, the success andprosperity, as well as the good nameand honor of California. Every lawabiding, docency-loving and patrioticcitizen who has the welfare of thecounty and state at heart, should goto the polls today and cast his ballotfor the candidates who were inducedto make the fight for cleaner government —the candidates who stand for allthat is opposed to the corrupt and dishonorable machine. These candidateswill bo found on the Republican ticketIndorsed by the Lincoln-Roosevelt Republican league, and on the Democratic ticket Indorsed at the LongBeach Democratic conference.' SHALL ' FEOrLE KILE?This election is to decide whetherthe people shall , rule. A vote cast atthe polls today la a vote for bettergovernment, for more honest and efficient administrative officials, cleanerpolitics and more progressive policies;or It is a vote for the Southern Pacificand its allied "vested interests;" avote to rid the county and state of thocorporation octopus which has been forso many, years sipping away the lifeblood of scores Cv our most importantcommercial and industrial Interests; ora vote to fasten its tentacles moretenaciously upon us.There are only two ways to —foror against. The "scratching" of anyticket will be a grave mistake. Thoprimary election, it must be remembered, is an innovation—a progressivereform achieved after years of popularagitation. The present law -is not exactly satisfactory— it is the concession of its enemies law adoptedby a legislature largely opposed to It.That legislature was compelled bypopular Bentiment to grant It.

P.Gubernatorial Nominationby 25,000 PluralityDEMOCRATS SOLID FOR BELLRepublican Senatorial AspirantsGive Out No Figures, andFight Is Quiet(Associated Press)SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. Assem.bled In a myriad of polling places tomorrow, the voters of California willhold their "conventions" for the nomination of state, congressional, legislative and county candidates. No generalelection has attracted more interestthan this first test of the efficiency of.the direct primary under the new California law, and in no previous balloting has it been more difficult to forecast results. Pre-prlmary claims ofvictory are as numerous as the candidates themselves, and the figures givenout at the several headquarters showremarkable differences of opinion—realor pretended.If results be close in the contests forthe principal nominations It may require a day or two to determine thewinners; in the case of minor offices,definite announcements canot be expected within that time, owing to thegreat length of the ballot, and the factthat there are no "straight" tickets tobe voted. If the returns show a "landslide" in any direction a definite Ideaas to the main results may be hadearly tomorrow evening.no OPPOSITION to BE IXWith Theodore A. Bell assured of theDemocratic nomination for governorwithout opposition and few other placeson the Democratic state . ticket contested, the interest of the voters of thatparty is confined to local contests. Theone which is attracting most attentionis the struggle between R. P. Troy andWalter Mac Arthur, the labor leader,for the Democratic nomination for congress in the F6urth district, whereJulius Kahn will be chosen by the Republicans to succeed himself. Managers ■of the five candidates forthe Republican gubernatorial nomination made their final claims tonight andaccompanied them with analytical de- .tails. Each professed confidence thatbis^cbletr would be returned: a winneron the morrow..In the camp of Hiram W. Johnson,the insurgent aspirant, it was assertedthat Johnson would come up to theTehachapl with a plurality of not lessthan 15,000; that he would more thanmaintain this lead in central an,d northern California, overcoming , throughoverwhelming support in the farmingdistricts the pluralities that his opponents might receive In the more populous centers. Johnson is confident ofdefeating Philip A. Stanton in Los Angeles, the latter's home city, and ofbreaking nearly even in San Francisco,the Curry stronghold. The - Lincoln-Roosevelt press . and orators. throughout the state have been urging theirpartisans to vote the straight insurgent ticket, and the Johnson managersprofess confidence that the entile ticket will go through.CUBBY IS CONFIDENTCharles F. Curry's lieutenants basedtheir claims upon the splendid organization which Curry had built upthroughout the state and declared thatthe vote tomorrow would be filled with,surprises In the districts where the op- -position had been considered strongest.It was asserted that Curry would havea clear majority in San Francisco;that he .would run uniformly ahead orJohnson throughout the other centraland northern counties, and that his excellent organization in the southern,counties, coupled with the strong support controlled by Richard Ferris, hisrunning mate, would bring him up tothe Tehachapi close upon the heels ofthe Lincoln-Roosevelt nominee. As anevidence iof the strength of the Curryorganization, the fact was cited thata call for a meeting of its precinctworkers in San Francisco last Fridaynight brought an attendance of 1600m philip A. Stanton bases his hopes ofsuccess entirely upon the support thathe expected to receive in SouthernCalifornia, which district supplies butone candidate for the governorshipagainst four from the north. Stantonexpects to receive 65 per cent of theRepublican vote in Los Angeles, hishome county, and to have a big leadin every other county of the southerngroup. He figures that the SouthernCalifornia vote alone will give him thenomination, while the scattering support that he will receive above theTohachapi will but serve the purposeof increasing his plurality. Stanton'sclosing campaign in central and northern California has been made by F. V.Keesling, whom the Angeleno inducedto enter the race for lieutenant governor as his running mate.ANDEBSON HAS HOPESAt Alden Anderson's headquarters itwas claimed that the candidate of theregular Republican organization woulddraw a majority of the stalwart voteand that this would be sufficient tooffset the Lincoln-Roosevelt strength.It was asserted that Anderson was theonly one of the four stalwart candidates who had developed •. sufficientstrength to defeat Johnson. Andersonhas had the almost unanimous support of the organization press in thecampaign.Nathaniel Ellery laid claim to only35,000 votes in the balloting tomorrow,but by some mathematical process hlacampaign manager has reached theconclusion that this will give him thevictory by a large plurality. EUery'sestimate of the total Republican votais far below that of the other gubernatorial candidates.From the rival insurgent and stalwart camps in tho Second, ' Fifth andSeventh congressional - districts finalstatements were Issued tonight, eachclaiming victory on the morrow.Supporters' of Edwin A.
